New Version of Visual AWR v02h!

It has been a while since I've had time to publish new features.  I have been doing a fair amount of customer Exadata utilization assessments lately.  I always find AWR and Visual AWR an indispensable tool for getting a quick read on the health and utilization of production database workloads.

The major change in this release is a Summary Report.  This will provide a quick overview of the essential metrics for the overall system.  The Summary Report aggregates essential metrics from all RAC instances.  This is where you should start your first pass at analyzing the target platform.  After this, choose one of the detailed reports that will show you the behavior of each individual RAC instance for a particular metric.

Also in this release you will see a new report for database Size On Disk.

Hope you find this project useful.  As always, let me know your experience using it and if you have other features you would like added.

Since I do allot of work on consolidating workloads on Exadata, the next feature I'm looking at is to combine multiple workloads into one chart to see how they would look on the consolidated target platform.
